Suterareta Yuusha no Eiyuutan

This is the second time I've seen this darkness. Coming here twice in one day- it's not my day, even though I'm feeling pretty good.

"And? Are you going to kill me again?"

I tried to turn my head towards the one who tried to kill me before. Oh? I can't move my head. Then, my body... Nope, I can't move.

"No,"

Unlike before, the girl denied, and made a smile.

"Thank you."

"...Huh?"

The unexpected gratitude made me make a stupid sound.

"Thank you, I'm grateful.

"No no no! You saying that makes me all the more unsafe!"

"Thanks. Really, thank you."

This time, she lowered her head.

...What is this. What a weirdo.

...But, she might not be a bad person as I thought she was.

Afte that traumatic experience... This time I'll act more mature!

"Thank you."

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Then, die."

"Ah.... Ah?

The girl flipped her attitude as I let my guard down, and my conscience snapped.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

...The worst way of waking up. Why do I have to go through that dream every time I die?

Next time I'll definitely return the favor.

I swear.

"...Are you awake, Daichi?"

I opened my eyes to the voice I'm used to hearing, and the two hills popped up.

...They're huge. This is the first time I've seen them from this angle.

No, it's a wonder- what am I saying, dammit...

"...Hamakaze,"「……浜風」

"Yes, what is it?"

"...Are you using your lap as a pillow again?"

I can feel a soft sensation on the back of my head. This feeling　is something I experienced before.

Hamakaze's, a classmate's healthy thighs.

A popular girl in the class which has become my slave.

If I think of it that way, I should be happy.

"Yes. I thought you would be happy if I did..."

Her cheeks turned pink, and she gave a delicate smile.

...How weird... Hamakaze seems to be a lot cuter than before.

...It's to tense up in here.

"..Ah well. Let me be like this for a bit."

"Are my thighs that comfortable?"

"...Not at all..."

I turned over. She had a little giggle.

She definitely figured it out that I was trying to hide my blushing face.

Also, Hamakaze started stroking my head.

After that fight to the death, it feels very nice and soothing. Do women have this level of tolerance? f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

I've never touched or talked to another girl... What am I trying to do, bullying myself...

Not doing it before, I got up and put Hamakaze's head on my lap.

"U-um, Daichi?"

"..."

I ignored the bloodstains and brushed my hand through her clean, black hair.

Going this far, she tried her best.

"...Daichi,"

"What?"

"I'm... very happy."

"...I- I see."

Stop it, it's too much for me, who's had little to no experience with others. I couldn't look her in the face.

"...Hamakaze."

"What is it?"

"After getting out, I'll do one thing that you want me to do, so think about it."

"...Yes."

Just like a romantic comedy, someone was looking at us with the cold shoulder.

"...Ah, so you were here."

The red Oni looked at us. Her crimson eyes, staring at me.

"What the hell do you mean, "you were here"!?"

The Oni seems annoyed that I forgot its presence, and puffed up her cheeks.

"I'm joking. I can't forget the person who killed me."

I shrugged. I couldn't forget.

"I killed you once, that was easy."

"Don't be kidding me!!"

The Oni punched the ground.

"You killed me once! That's it! I was dead!"

The Oni tossed away her robe.

The bare Oni's body. The hole in was supposed to be in her body sealed up, and she asserted it.

"My body went back to as it was! Even though I should've been dead, I'm alive right now! What did you do to me?"

"What? Do you prefer being dead?"

"Dying honorably after losing is our rule!"

"I don't care."

"Huh!?"

The Oni who lost but was left alive got mad at us.

Maybe, she might come at us. Well, not at me, at least.

That's because, she's mine now.

"You're my slave now."

"...Huh? Me, a slave? I can't believe that-"

"Then, look at your Status."

"Don't kid me. If you're lying... you... No wait..."

"Just check."

"...Open."

Her information appeared.

"...You're kidding me..."

The Oni widened her eyes, and looked at the screen deeply.　It wasn't an enraged look, and sat crosslegged deep in thought.

"That means... Wait, if that's so..."

For a bit, she mumble.　Suddenly, her shoulders were shiverng. No, Akina Leadred. Even I'm shocked over here.

Why does she have Unique Abilities instead of Special Abilities like me?

"Oi, Leadred. There's something I want to ask..."

And, I stopped.

Leadred lightly giggled.　Gradually it became loder, and it she blurting things out."

"I see... This guy... The hero is... Hahaha! Interesting! Really interesting! That girl... By a human... Hahahaha!"

Leadred, laughing, while smacking my knees.

"Hey, you hero!" free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

"W-What is it? I don't want to hear that you don't want to be my slave."

I panicked after getting called out so suddenly.

If I pull out, my presence as the master would cease. But, that quickly met an end.

"No! I'll gladly serve you! But, before that, so that I'll recognize you as my true master, answer me one question!"

True master...? What is she saying?

Even without doing anything she's already my servant.

Her way of speaking also changed... Maybe her head didn't regenerate properly?

While thinking about it, I affirmed her request.

"You! Do you have the Unique Ability "Revenge of the Resented"?"

"--!!"

I trembled.

What does this mean. Why does she know my skill!? Did she look at it!? Can she even see it!?

...Wait, calm down!

In my head, I'll take the safest option. Leadred is my slave in the first plaece. She can't attack me.

If she'll fight with us, then I'll probably have to talk about it anyway.

It's not like there's any need to fret.

Then, she'll declare her obedience. I'll make sure she'll recognize me as her true master.

There should be no problem if I tell the truth.

"...Ah. Indeed, I do have it. You can look at my Status if you don't believe me."

"I, see... Then... You are..."

Leadred walked towards me.

In any case, there's no need to fear.

Leadred sat in her place, and placed her head to her knees.

"I... I have been waiting for you. Our hope. The one suitable to lead us-"

And, she said,

"--Guide us, our savior."
